Multi-business entrepreneur Linda Rawlings is perhaps best-known as co-creator of California-based Otis Spunkmeyer, Inc. Her debut book "Improbable Possibilities", reveals other entrepreneurial quests through childhood, a business career, a dance career, and three marriages--in twenty episodes of you-can't-make-this-up and you-can't-put-this-down true stories.

Diverse San Francisco entrepreneurial adventures include Robert C. Brown and Company, investment advisors; Triple 888 Manufacturing, the sheet metal company purchased created to manufacture ovens for baking Otis Spunkmeyer cookies; and Sentimental Journeys, the DC3 airline that promoted Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies. Her other entrepreneurial activities include founding and producing New Shoes Old Souls Dance Company, producing Yoga Garden Dancers, and working with Heterodoxy Magazine and George Magazine. Rawlings helped develop MANA!, a food brand in Hong Kong.

Rawlings has undergraduate degrees in Fine Arts and Mathematics (Bates College) and master's degrees in Business and Journalism (UC Berkeley). She has lived in Connecticut, California, Singapore, Hong Kong, Toronto, Sydney, and Las Vegas. Newport, Rhode Island is her home-for now. Her writing has appeared in Heterodoxy, The Oakland Tribune, and Newport Life Magazine. This is her first book, inspired by theoretical physics.

"Reading Improbable Possibilities, is like catching up with your most adventurous and entertaining friend."
Carolyn Wyman, author: "The Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Book"


"The author, who describes herself as a baby boomer with an old soul, opens with an account of her youth in Connecticut, and in a series of chapters filled with quotes from rock music . . . these chronological self-portraits unfold with a wonderfully readable combination of inner exploration . . . A lively, colorful memoir of corporate and personal growth."
